From January 7, tourists will pay to enter the Trevi Fountain. The fee will be 2 euros, while residents of Rome are exempt. The decision aims to protect the monument and manage mass tourism.
One of the world's most iconic monuments will now be accessible with a ticket. Starting January 7, 2026, tourists who want to enter the Trevi Fountain area in Rome will have to pay a two-euro fee, in an effort by authorities to cope with the extraordinary influx of visitors.
According to the city administration's decision, residents of Rome will continue to visit the monument for free, while tourists will be able to pay by credit card. To facilitate circulation, two separate lanes will be set up: one for Roman citizens and one for visitors.
The measures come after a year of experimenting with entry restrictions, where only 400 people were allowed in the area at a time.
In the first six months of this year alone, the Trevi Fountain was visited by over 5.3 million people, surpassing even the Pantheon, which recorded around 4 million visitors throughout 2024.
According to Italian media, the new tariff is expected to bring up to 20 million euros in revenue per year for the municipality of Rome.
Authorities emphasize that these funds will be used to improve tourist services and protect the historical monument.
The decision, supported by tourism councilor Alessandro Onorato, is part of a wider strategy to curb mass tourism and preserve the cultural heritage of the Eternal City.
